  • Shocks and Awe : Damping Selection in Racecars to Maximize Grip

    Creator:
    Takaro, Trevor M. F.
    Abstract:
    This thesis covers the use of a quarter car model to select damping rates for aFormula Student (FS) car, focusing on minimizing vertical tire force variation to improvegrip. A 2 degree of freedom (DOF) quarter car model is cycled over the road frequenciesof interest and the results compared with the...

  • Bacteria die-off in stream sediments

    Creator:
    Sherer, Brett Micheal
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact sediment has on the survival of bacteria in a typical rangeland stream. This information is an important component in determining a time integrated prediction of bacterial numbers in the stream sediment and overlying water. Bacterial survival in stream is a...

  • Influence of canopy orientation on fruiting of 'Ànjou' pears and postharvest urea spray on ovule longevity and fruit set of 'C̀omice' pears

    Creator:
    Khemira, Habib
    Abstract:
    The effect of canopy orientation on fruiting performance of 'Beurre d'Anjou' pears (Pyrus communis L.) and postharvest urea spray on ovule longevity and fruit set of 'Doyenne du Comice' pears were studied. Hedgerows of 'Beurre d'Anjou' pear trees planted in 1969 in two orientations north-south (N-S) and east-west (E-W) were...

  • Practical application of steady-state 6-DoF aerodynamic model for vehicle system loads analysis

    Creator:
    Torris, Connor J.
    Abstract:
    This work develops the Global Formula Racing computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model in StarCCM+ to allow for vehicle attitude studies to be ran to evaluate Formula Student (FS) vehicle aerodynamic loads. Attitudes that this model allows to be studied include roll, pitch, yaw, heave, tire angle, and vehicle speed. The...

  • A force plate for measuring contact forces during dependent transfers onboard aircraft

    Creator:
    Schafer, Christopher A.
    Abstract:
    The transfer of air travelers with disabilities between a mobility aid and an aircraft seat is a major source of injury for both the travelers and the airline personnel assisting in the transfer. The risk to both parties might be reduced through the biomechanical study of the transfer task. Such...

  • Inotropic and Chronotropic Effects of Sotalol in Healthy Dogs

    Creator:
    Treseder, Julia R.
    Abstract:
    Sotalol is a class III anti-arrhythmic drug with class II properties that is commonly used in the treatment of ventricular tachyarrhythmias in dogs. The anti-arrhythmic effects of sotalol are mediated by an increase in action potential duration and prolongation of atrial and ventricular repolarization via antagonism of the delayed rectifier...

  • Behavior of a 1/6th scale, two-story, wood framed residential structure under surge wave loading

    Creator:
    Wilson, Jebediah
    Abstract:
    The goal of this study was to develop an understanding of the nature of surge wave loading on wood framed residential structures for a variety of building configurations and test conditions. The objectives of the study were: (1) to measure forces on a 1/6th scale wood framed residential structure, (2)...

  • An investigation into the role of spatial variability on liquefaction consequence severity

    Creator:
    Cary, John R.
    Abstract:
    During the Canterbury Earthquake Sequence (CES) in Christchurch, NZ, an estimated $15B in damages occurred due to liquefaction-induced phenomena, illustrating the importance of understanding site-specific responses to seismic ground motions, as well the importance of accurately predicting liquefaction severity. One potential method for improving the understanding of how a site...

  • Deformation imaging

    Creator:
    Margiocco, Marco L.
    Abstract:
    Recent developments in the field of clinical echocardiography allow the ultrasonographer to objectively quantify both regional and global myocardial function. Regional deformation (Strain) and deformation rate (Strain Rate) are novel indices of ventricular function that can be estimated non-invasively by ultrasonographic interrogation of the heart. Deformation Imaging (DI)represents a family...

  • Survival and Height Growth of Eight Tree Species Planted in Riparian Restoration Project Areas throughout the Coos Bay, Oregon Watershed

    Creator:
    Law, Lucie R.
    Abstract:
    Riparian areas are targeted for restoration activities because of the important ecological functions these areas provide. Millions of dollars are spent on riparian restoration projects, yet little long-term monitoring data are collected to understand the growth and survival of the planted trees and shrubs after initial project establishment. With the...
